We have two new Tae Kwon Do yellow belts in the family! Chas and Katie have worked very hard to master the requirements for this belt and did a great job tonight in showing off their expertise. Emma and I are still working diligently on our next belt(green) but it is getting harder and harder to advance as the techniques become more complex. We are shooting for October before Emma's surgery. We like wise Mr. Miagi's reply to Danielson's question "what kind of belt do you have?" He replied "K-Mart...$7.99"
I am including a video of my sparring match! Go ahead and laugh, I did! I think I held my own against a much stronger opponent. I am scared to death this guy is really going to land a kick one day and break one of my flimsy little ribs! Thanks to LaRee for sitting on the hard chairs and cheering us on and thanks to Doug for taking the pictures. He braved the I-285 parking lot tonight to be there for the kids' test. What a Grandpa!
(FYI-I'm wearing the black helmet.)

It looks like a lot of fun to be kicked like that. And you think we spud folks are odd for what we do. I was kicked a lot in my first tri, but the spud has never been an issue. I am sure that I would pull something trying to kick that high, I think my days of kicking that high are over.
I am always a little surprise to see mom and dad in a Blog away from home, but I guess I should not be, as they are kind-of retired now and should be out there seeing the world.
Congratulations to all you belted people, its more then I could do and still be able to walk!!
WOW! That's so COOL! and BTW, I'm not laughing, in fact, at the next reunion i'm going to make darn sure i keep myself in line around Crystal-san.
I didn't know you could post a video ... I can't wait to find out how. All the kids were great on this night and mom and I were glad we could be part of the cheering section. You right Char, don't mess with Crystal :-).
